TURBINE SEAL: AXIAL TYPE DESIGN
Our axial type seals are specifically designed for application to hydroelectric turbines and
large water pumps for sewage handling, filtration, irrigation, and more.
Our axial type seals are self aligned, balanced split face seals capable of withstanding the
heavy torques, pressures, shaft movements (radial and axial) and thrusts associated with
such shaft systems. Depending on the turbine’s operating conditions, many custom
arrangements can be used.
The sealing action takes place between two mating rings; one stationary, the Sealing Ring,
the other rotating with the shaft, the Seat Ring. The axial direction of the sealing action
prevents damage to the turbine or pump shaft, since the wear is taking place between the
Seat and the Sealing Rings, and not on the shaft.
The Sealing Ring is held in contact with the Seat Ring by a spring force and the hydraulic
force of flushing water. These properties balance the seal at all times.

TURBINE SEAL: RADIAL TYPE DESIGN
Radial type seals are used in

hydroelectric turbines, pump-
turbines and large pumps. The
primary purpose of a mechanical
radial shaft seal is to maintain a
near watertight seal between the
turbine shaft and the head cover.
Depending on the pressure

S PA R E P A R T S AND A CCESSORIES
Fugesco can supply spare parts for your existing turbine seals. Our engineering
department will study tour existing seal in order to retrofit any existing technology. In many
cases we can improve on actual performance by suggesting our solution at the best
possible price without changing your actual configuration or seal housings.
Sealing Rings
We can reverse engineer any existing design from our competition with a better surface
finish, interchangeability without markings or lapping. With the precision of our
manufacturing our sealing rings obtain better sealing with lower leakage during initial
start-up and regular operation. We can increase the wear allowance up to 30 % in some
cases, without extra leakage.
Pressure Rings
We are equipped to roll any diameter of single or double pressure ring segments for any
existing designs.
Garter- Compression springs

Since the springs are manufactured in-house, we can easily control our product for better
materials, necessary tension, faster delivery terms and better prices.
Electronic or mechanical wear indicator

Fugesco has mechanical and electronic wear indicators for use in wet and dry
applications.
